Venue description: Atlantic Garten – This unique venue of Kramer, Hambrecht & Co. will open its doors for the winter season today. The venue has been completely renovated and painted. The painting was done superbly by A. Millner. The grand hall has become a gigantic tent. The walls are colored in antique blue and are carried on slender pillars with elaborate ornamentation. This exposes an airy gallery of which the balconies are richly decorated. Candelabrums stand on the balconies which seem to hold up the ceiling. At the edges of the balconies, bacchanals and amourettes carry fruits and refreshments from all over the world in their locks; they hold flower ribbons of glowing colors. Every wall painting displays silver baccanals, satyrs and fauns in a blue medallion. The painting was done with artistic taste which gives the venue a friendly and elegant flair.
